Madison Bach Musicians:

Bach composed over two hundred church cantatas during his long career as organist and music director in various cities including Mühlhausen, Weimar, and Leipzig. The precise number of cantatas is not known, since many were lost, but what is particularly amazing to the modern listener upon hearing the extant cantatas is that Bach was capable and willing to reinvent himself in composing each work, pouring his greatest creative effort into carefully illustrating a vast array of religious texts.

In this program, we’ll hear three of these masterpieces, BWV 54 Widerstehe doch der Sünde (Just resist sin), BWV 199 Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut (My heart swims in blood), and BWV 82 Ich habe genug (I have enough). BWV 54 and 199 both trace, in unique fashion, the spiritual arc from consummate seriousness, despair, and regret—sometimes a near vortex of darkness—into eventual understanding, and, finally, to joy. BWV 82 begins with the profound realization of Jesus’ earthly embodiment and sacrifice for humanity and then brings us to the inner peace and spiritual rejuvenation this knowledge brings.

Also on this program, by way of contrast, Marc Destrubé will play Bach’s sunny Violin Concerto in E major. We know that Bach studied Vivaldi assiduously, and it is wonderful to hear Vivaldi’s unmistakable presence in this work and how he positively inspired Bach!

PROGRAM: Widerstehe doch der Sünde BWV 54, Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut BWV 199, Ich habe genug BWV 82, Violin Concerto in E major BWV 1042

All are welcome, and we hope you will join us!

Overview

MVO launches its season with a vibrant, dance-themed program that brings an irresistible groove to the concert hall!

The concert opens with Arturo Márquez’ Danzon No.2, written in 1994 and blasted into the music world’s consciousness during the 2007 North American tour by Gustavo Dudamel and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra. Then, two sets of lively Afro-Caribbean-influenced dances composed in 1953 by this season’s Foreground Composer Florence Price (Dances in the Canebrakes and Suite of Dances) will evoke the lively rhythms and familiar genres of early music and dance culture in the Deep South. After intermission, we are absolutely thrilled to join with superstar multi-international-award-winning mezzo-soprano Clara Osowski for selections from George Bizet’s unforgettable Carmen. You’ll go home light on your feet, with a song in your heart!
